What are the chances of encountering a shiny Pokémon?
For Sun & Moon, are the chances to catch a shiny Pokémon the same of previous generations, like X & Y? Or are the chances somewhat higher or lower this time around?
Best Answer
Reportedly, they are the same as they were in gen6: 1 in 4096
The Masuda Method (breeding two Pokémon from different languages) still works to increase your chances of breeding a shiny. The way(s) of increasing the chances of wild shiny Pokémon have been replaced with Ally Chaining, which involves using an Adrenaline Orb to force the wild Pokémon to call an ally for help, KO one of the two, and let the remaining one call for help, until you encounter a shiny.
